    There’s now a Brasserie at Neuse River Brewing Co.

    January 20, 2020

    MEG HERE AND THERE

    Neuse River Brewing Co. is one of my favorite breweries in Raleigh. I didn’t think it could get better but it did. It now has a brasserie in it, and today I tried it out for brunch. 

    The brasserie opened fairly recently, (November), but I only now got down there. Yeah that is slower than I usually like to be about checking out a new place but better late than never, as they say. And apparently I’ve been missing out on a good thing!

    Enter through the big double doors with “NRBC” on them, and to your right is the new dining area...

    Wednesdays = Burger Night at Hummingbird

    January 16, 2020

    MEG HERE AND THERE

    Wednesdays = Burger Night at Hummingbird in Raleigh. 

    First things first though... One can’t come here & not get a cocktail. From the beginning, this place has been a favorite of mine for well-made cocktails.

    This cocktail is called Bobbin' for Apples.

    And now Hummingbird is also one of my faves for burgers too!

    I didn’t request any extras added, it comes this way: Bacon, cheddar, tomato, & arugula, and the fries. $14 total is worth this tastiness.

    Raleigh Night Market, Grassroots Baby!

    May 2, 2019

    MEG HERE AND THERE

    Recently I sat down to chat with the co-founders of the Raleigh Night Market, Lauryn Stroud, and Sara Buxton. In partnership with City Market, they host a fabulous community event in downtown Raleigh.

    Raleigh Night Market is a monthly event (March-November, 2019), which brings tons of incredible local artisans to one space. (City Market). Yes, local, local, local! Pottery, jewelry, clothes, food, drinks, and so much more. There is also live local music playing throughout, as well as entertainment. Cirque de Vol (circus arts) provided...

    Excursion Day in Siler City, NC

    August 9, 2018

    |

    MEG HERE AND THERE

    A couple of weeks ago I trekked out to Siler City, NC for the day. It’s hardly a long drive, about an hour, (40 miles). Most of my trekking was on foot once I arrived. That was the goal, to explore downtown Siler City bit by bit, and of course capture some photos along the way.

    What better way to start my exploring than by checking out an eatery. I arrived at Artisan Hub for lunch. I opted for the hot Cubano sandwich with a delicious sauce (salsa verde), and side of smash-fried plantains (tostones). Oh, and I also went with an extra si...

    Carroll's Kitchen 1-yr Anniversary Party at Highgrove Estate

    September 24, 2017

    Meg Here And There

    If you've followed me on social media for the past year, then surely you saw the posts about the then-anticipated opening of Carroll's Kitchen in downtown Raleigh. 

    They opened, and it's been full steam ahead this entire year. Here we are now 1 year in and at yesterday's 1-yr anniversary party, it was announced that Carroll's Kitchen would be opening a 2nd location. This one will be in the soon-to-open Morgan Street Food Hall in downtown Raleigh. Best part of this in my opinion, is that the hours will be longer than the hours at t...

    Royale Does a Burger Right

    February 15, 2017

    MegHere Ad There

    Although Royale, the French-American bistro located in downtown Raleigh, has been open for about 3 months now, this is the 1st time I was able to get in there. The place is usually packed and the last time I went on a weekend at 8:30pm, I learned they had started taking reservations and nothing was available for that night. Although last night I learned they are looking to do away with that. Yey!

    Some people don't think anything of it to make a reservation and not keep it and not cancel it. Baffles me, but there are all kinds out ther...

    Oak City Vegan Challenge

    September 15, 2016

    |

    Meg Here And There

    3 weeks of the Oak City Vegan Challenge. Can you handle it? Yes you can. What doesn it evan mean to be vegan? It means you eat all foods except aniamls and animal products. So that means, no milk, no eggs, etc. 

    If you're like me, you're a meat eater, but you like incorporating a few vegan dishes into your diet every now and then. It's healthier, obviously, and frankly these days, what I encounter at restaurants is that chefs have gotten a good grip on making what many meat eaters would term as "boring food" (vegan), into som...

    Brunch at Provenance

    September 5, 2016

    |

    MEG HERE AND THERE

    Last Sunday, a friend and I headed to Provenance for brunch. Neither one of us had been there before, but afterwards, we agreed we'll be going again in the future. It's nice when you have your hopes set high on a place and it doesn't disappoint. 

    Brunch is a great way to try a new place out, in my opinion. If brunch is not delicious, then I don't see a reason to make an effort to go to a place for lunch or dinner. 

    Provenance, prides itself on keeping it local. 

    According to their website, they know all...

    Monster Drawing Rally at NCMA

    August 31, 2016

    |

    Meg Here And There

    Last Friday I attended the Monster Drawing Rally at North Carolina Museum of Art. It was their 1st such event. It sold pretty quickly so I was glad I snagged a ticket early on. Tickets were just $5, so, definitely worth it even if you’re not sure you’ll like something like this. The event had over 20 artists making art in each round. There were 3 rounds and each one lasted just under an hour. At end of each round, artworks were collected & hung on display for patrons to view and buy if they chose to. All works were priced at $50 each....

    City Barbeque in S. Durham, NC

    May 31, 2016

    Meg Here And There

    Earlier this month I and a group of other local foodies and bloggers attended a food tasting event at City Barbeque's newest location in S. Durham, NC. Grand opening was last Sunday, (5/22/2016).  I was already familiar with their food and am a big fan, but they were introducing a new menu item. Tacos! Double Smoked Brisket Tacos. So I had to go check things out. Just as I anticipated, I loved everything. I know that's a general statement, but I'll get to the details soon. 

    Here's the thing,...
